“…Moreover, these results are in line with our previous findings, which indicate an increased risk of central obesity following exposure to multiple sources of transportation noise 4. It is also supported by a study by Selander et al 28 where an interaction was seen between traffic noise, occupational noise and job strain in relation myocardial infarction.…”

BackgroundThere is limited evidence from longitudinal studies on transportation noise from different sources and development of ischaemic heart disease (IHD) and stroke.ObjectivesThis cohort study assessed associations between exposure to noise from road traffic, railway or aircraft and incidence of IHD and stroke.MethodsIn a cohort of 20 012 individuals from Stockholm County, we estimated long-term residential exposure to road traffic, railway and aircraft noise. National Patient and Cause-of-Death Registers were used to identify IHD and stroke events. Information on risk factors was obtained from questionnaires and registers. Adjusted HR for cardiovascular outcomes related to source-specific noise exposure were computed using Cox proportional hazards regression.ResultsNo clear or consistent associations were observed between transportation noise and incidence of IHD or stroke. However, noise exposure from road traffic and aircraft was related to IHD incidence in women, with HR of 1.11 (95% CI 1.00 to 1.22) and 1.25 (95% CI 1.09 to 1.44) per 10 dB Lden, respectively. For both sexes taken together, we observed a particularly high risk of IHD in those exposed to all three transportation noise sources at≥45 dB Lden, with a HR of 1.57 (95% CI 1.06 to 2.32), and a similar tendency for stroke (HR 1.42; 95% CI 0.87 to 2.32).ConclusionNo overall associations were observed between transportation noise exposure and incidence of IHD or stroke. However, there appeared to be an increased risk of IHD in women exposed to road traffic or aircraft noise as well as in those exposed to multiple sources of transportation noise.

“…[19] Furthermore, 4 studies were not applicable for trend analyses because only dichotomous results were reported. [18,[20][21][22] A further 2 studies were not applicable due to the scarce information with respect to ischemic heart diseases which is only given in major technical research reports. [23,24] The current meta-analysis, which is considered to be comprehensive refers to altogether 14 studies that were published up until the year 2013.…”

Updated exposure-response relationship between road traffic noise and coronary heart diseases: A meta-analysis

A meta-analysis of 14 studies (17 individual effect estimates) on the association between road traffic noise and coronary heart diseases was carried out. A significant pooled estimate of the relative risk of 1.08 (95% confidence interval: 1.04, 1.13) per increase of the weighted day-night noise level L DN of 10 dB (A) was found within the range of approximately 52-77 dB (A) (5 dB-category midpoints). The results gave no statistically significant indication of heterogeneity between the results of individual studies. However, stratified analyses showed that the treatment of gender in the studies, the lowest age of study subjects and the lowest cut-off of noise levels had an impact on the effect estimates of different studies. The result of the meta-analysis complies quantitatively with the result of a recent meta-analysis on the association between road traffic noise and hypertension. Road traffic noise is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular diseases.

“…A long-lasting activation of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis is detrimental to health and may lead to elevated levels of cortisol, thereby promoting central fat deposition and impaired glucose regulation 14 15. Recent evidence indicates that combined exposure to several stressors, including different noise sources and job strain, is particularly harmful 16. However, such data are not available for metabolic markers.…”
